The Indiana Pacers have won four out of their last five games, after a six game slide. This team, IMHO, somehow looks better on the court without JO then they do with him. He seems to stagnate the offense. On Friday night against the Mavericks, the Pacers put up 62 points in the first half, their fifth time in 13 outings they have done that. When this team is hot, not many teams can stop them, but when JO is in the lineup and the offense is slowed, these guys are very predictable...
I expect a close game between these two teams on Sunday night, The only way these Pacers are going to have a chance against LBJ and the Cavs, is to obviously stop the leader in LeBron, and we need our backcourt to outplay the Cavs' backcourt, which to me, seems like their only weakness, due to the fact that they have Boobie and Sasha starting. If the Pacers get hot, watch out because we could easily win this game.
